You have to select a project on this page only if you select "All Projects" at the project selection list.

Thankyou for replying atrol ... it is at the Project Listing page that i am unable to view the projects.
I enter the project title in the config section and save ... then no listing at all.
Have I missed a config option in the config.php file ?

select a project from the report issue screen

it is at the Project Listing page that i am unable to view the projects.

Quite confusing to me. I don't understand what you expect. Maybe you can add a screenshot or at least tell the name of the page which is shown in your browser (something like bug_report_page.php)
Describe step by step what you do, what you get and what you expect to get.

If you want to add new projects to your Project Browser you can log in as admin --> click on manage --> projects --> create new project

it then should show up in your project browser. You don't edit any configuration files for projects to appear.

I am sorry if it sounds all confusing ... not meant to be.
I can add a Project in the project management section (screen attached)

However when i then go to report an issue the project is not listed (None listed)

I am not able to reproduce the issues using MySQL.
I am quite sure the problem is caused by PostgreSQL
There are various known issues with it.
Some of them will be fixed in next version 1.2.12

You can try a nightly build http://www.mantisbt.org/builds to check if your problem is also fixed.

Not sure if you have sorted this yet? I'm a n00b and had the same problem but then realised I'd done the same thing. What you have actually done is create a Global Category and not a project. The projects are listed in the table above the categories section. This table is empty. Click on the "Create New Project" button, then you'll add a project and then it will work (or at least it did for me).

Good luck.

I suggest you start over from scratch.

Here is what I do to make a new project and then be able to click on 'report issue' and have an option be displayed in the Category section. What you want to do is create a project called "test project" and
then you want to add Categories to that project such as "General" and "Implementation".

1. log in as admin
2. click on 'manage'
3. click on 'manage projects'
4. click on 'create new project'
5. give it a name. Call it "test project"
6. click on the new project called 'test project'
7. scroll down to the Category section. Add a new Category. Call it "General"
8. add a second category. Call it "Implementation"
9. click on update project (not sure if this is necessary but I do it)
10. go back to the main mantis screen. Select the "test project" from the project browser and then select "report issue"
11. from the Category section click and you will see the two categories you have just created, General and Implementation.

does this help?

I had the same issue - the problem was I didn't realize what that screen does is create "categories" - click the little "create new project" button above and to the left of the categories display
